You Tube footage suggests Beadle was behind 9/11.

Sensational new footage has appeared on You Tube suggesting that the late TV prankster Jeremy Beadle accidentally caused the destruction of the World Trade Centre on 11 September 2001.

The footage appears to be from shortly after the fall of the second tower, and shows Beadle dressed in a fake beard and British Policeman's outfit, weeping and repeating to himself, "What have I done! What have I done!"

It is thought that the prank-gone-wrong was being filmed as a pilot for ITV intended to recreate the success of his 1980s heyday with a darker, more modern edge.

When asked to comment on the footage, Beadle's wife said that "it is not fair to blame Jeremy for all this when he is no longer about to defend himself," however a US official who has seen the footage responded by saying that Beadle's death was not an insurmountable problem, as "he would not have been allowed to mount a defence anyway during the military tribunal."
